help us reach ours.

accurate records and write reports for these tests establishing test
objectives, results, conclusions, observations, and recommendations.

Eaton
has announced its intent to spinoff its Lighting Business into publicly traded
company (“SpinCo”). This transaction is expected to be completed by the
end of 2019 and this position is expected to remain with SpinCo.
The compensation and benefits that will initially be offered for this position
are based on Eaton’s plans, programs and practices. The Lighting Business
is in the process of developing its total rewards philosophy, strategy and
structure, including the design of its benefits and annual and long-term
incentive plans that will take effect when SpinCo becomes a publicly traded
company. If you are offered and accept this position and are actively employed
by the Lighting Business when SpinCo becomes an independent, publicly traded
company, you will be eligible to participate in SpinCo’s compensation, health,
welfare, and retirement benefit plans and programs and should have no
expectations that SpinCo’s plans and programs will mirror or be substantially
similar to Eaton’s.
